ELLEN DeGeneres is used to being ignored on the red carpet because she is only wearing a tux.

It is Ellen’s girlfriend, Portia De Rossi, who gets the attention.

“They’re always yelling out for her to tell them what she’s wearing, but nobody cares [about what I’m wearing] because I have suit on, even if it’s a Gucci suit,” says DeGeneres in the latest W magazine.

“That to me is frustrating, because I put effort into getting ready too,” she says.

So, in case you’re wondering, here’s what the comic and talk-show host looks like all dressed up.

DeGeneres, who is set to host the Oscars later this month, reflects on her comeback.

“I got to learn that I was strong enough to start over again” after she lost her sitcom.

“I was so angry. I thought, I earned this. I didn’t get this because I was beautiful; I didn’t get this because I had connections in the business. I really worked my way up to a show, a sitcom that was mine that was successful, that was on for five years.

“I did what was right,” she says. “I came out, which was good for me, and ultimately it was the only thing I could do. And then I got punished for it. I was so angry.”
